Research Research Interests:

I am interested in using educational research design methods to evaluate the clinical reasoning skills of

learners across the continuum (entry-level students – expert clinicians). This research can help to

determine the most effective teaching strategies to facilitate this critical skill in physical therapy and the

health professions.
